    Our Shoe Sanctuary

    We have been putting off having a shoe rack due to the tiny space of our home. But we came to a conclusion that we cannot do without one recently. Next question was…to buy or to make? After shopping around, we decided to call our contractor; Ho Bee, describe and drew to him what we want and wala! Our new shoe cabinet is born. It blend in so well with the design of our place that both my hubby and I are happy we took the plunge.

    The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful site as it's taken in the day and with my hp camera.
    Thank you SN for giving me a (almost) dream wedding :)






    The Lilies which symbolise 白年好合

    On the eve of our AD, my mum bought us a bouquet of lilies which symbolise 白年好合. This translates to 100 years of good relationship. The picture may not do justice to those lilies as the picture was taken on day 4. This is only 2/3 of the remaining bouquet.

    Nothing is lovelier than a bouquet of flowers until you see those yellow stains on your clothing or linens. Pollen does more than make us sneeze, it can really stain fabrics. Below is an article we found online on how to get out pollen stains. Oh, did you know pollen grows back even after you snipped them off?


    Words of Advice
    First, NEVER rub the pollen with your hand or a cloth. You will only push the dye deeper into the fabric. Take the fabric outside and shake off the pollen. Or, use a piece of tape to pick up the pollen grains. The trick is to keep the pollen from penetrating the fibers. For washable fabrics, soak the garment in cold water for at least 30 minutes and then rinse thoroughly; repeat these two steps until most of the stain has been removed. You may also add some Oxyclean or another oxygen bleach to the soaking water. If the stain is still present, apply a spot stain remover to the area and wash the garment in the hottest recommended temperature for the fabric.Check the area again before drying the garment – if the stain remains, repeat the stain remover and wash treatment.

    For dryclean only fabrics, remove the pollen gently as described. Be certain to point out the stain to the dry cleaner and if possible, tell him the type of flower that caused the stain. Lilies are usually the main culprit.
